Shen Lian had no choice but to keep it in her heart.

Back in the palace, after dinner, the prince consciously asked Xia Liang to bring the medicine over and drink.

Shen Lian was happy in his eyes: it seems that the prince's illness has great hope of healing, there is Jiang Yue's prescription, and the prince is in a good mood and is willing to take medicine on time, can there be a disease that cannot be cured? Xia Liang came over to serve Xuanyuan Hao with the medicine, and when he was about to remove the soup bowl, he said to Shen Lian: "Master, there is not much left in the medicine bag, tomorrow is the day when Imperial Doctor Jiang enters the palace to deliver medicine, do you want to prepare a reward in advance?" Shen Lian smiled: "It's hard for you to remember, I have already prepared things, there is nothing to do here, you should also retire and rest early."

Xia Liang answered and went out to clean up.

It was late at night, Xuanyuan Hao had already slept soundly after taking the medicine, Shen Lian quietly got up, changed into homely civilian clothes, and called Ya'er, who was on vigil, to sneak out of the palace with him.

Ya'er didn't know what the princess was leaving the palace for, but she responded to the princess's requests, and she was willing to do whatever Shen Lian asked her to do, so Shen Lian didn't tell her, she didn't ask, she just followed Shen Lian honestly.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Shen Lian showed the token of the East Palace to the guards guarding the city, and the guards did not dare to stop them, so they hurriedly avoided them and let Shen Lian and them go out of the palace.

Along the way, Ya'er was a little worried, although she was bold, but if the queen mother knew about the princess's departure from the palace late at night, it would inevitably be another scolding, what did the princess do? Is it necessary to take such a big risk? However, these words were held back by Ya'er and didn't dare to ask, anyway, it would come out when the time came.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the Li Mansion, Ya'er was even more confused, and Shen Lian glanced at her calmly and didn't say anything.

Shen Lian slipped in through the back door with Ya'er, and tiptoed to the hall, where Wang Shuhui's coffin was parked, waiting for the funeral tomorrow.

At this time, in the dead of night, not to mention others, even the grief-stricken girls who Shen Lian saw crying during the day were gone, so she must have gone back to her room to rest.

The timing was just right, Shen Lian tiptoed over and asked Ya'er to watch the people at the gate.

Fortunately, the coffin has not yet been nailed, and with the help of a few burning bright candles, Wang Shuhui's face can be seen very clearly, her expression is a little hideous and terrifying, but her figure is slightly plump, and her face is not as dark as that of ordinary people who die of violent illness, but purple, as if she died of suffocation.

The suspicion in Shen Lian's heart deepened, and she couldn't care about being scared at the moment, so she moved her eyes to Wang Shuhui's neck and unbuttoned her clothes to inspect them.

As expected, there was a deep strangulation mark on Wang Shuhui's neck.

From this point of view, Wang Shuhui did not die of a violent illness at all, but hanged herself, and it is very likely that she was forced to die by Li Shen.

Thinking about Li Shen's attitude towards his deceased wife during the day, you can know that the bond between the two of them is only money, and there is not much real affection left.

What's more, Li Shen is a ** woman outside, and he also gave birth to a son.

However, when Li Shen and Wang Shuhui had a stiff relationship because of this incident, Wang Shuhui was rumored to have died of a violent illness, if Li Shen is not wrong, who believes it! Shen Lian put on her clothes again for Wang Shuhui, covered the coffin, and restored everything to its original state, ensuring that others could not see it.

Only then did he walk lightly to the door and called Ya'er, who was scared to death, and was concentrating on guarding the door, afraid that someone would suddenly come and find them, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in her ears, so frightened that Ya'er quickly turned around and screamed in a low voice, and Shen Lian pulled her out and flashed out.

The two of them hid in a secluded place, and Ya'er was still in shock, and Shen Lian pulled her to the door of a room again.

Ya'er was so frightened that she was about to cry, and she didn't dare to speak for fear of being heard.

Shen Lian put his ear on the door and listened carefully to the movement inside, it was quiet at first, and there was no one in the room.

Then a rude and irascible male voice rang out: "Water, water!" This was followed by the movement of people swooping out of bed, and after a moment of silence, a sharp female voice said, "Ah!" Shen Lian was a little flustered, and she couldn't care about anything at the moment, so she poked a hole in the door and window paper with her finger to see what was going on.

A girl dressed as a maid of about twenty years old was trying her best to retreat, her head shook like a rattle, tears rippled and begged the man opposite: "Master, Mrs., she just died, you ...... like this" The cheeky man opposite was Li Shen, and when he heard the maid mention his deceased wife, he did not have a trace of repentance, but intensified step by step, the maid was squeezed into the corner by him, and struggled vigorously, trying to escape from Li Shen's clutches.

Li Shen had a smug face, he touched his beard, and tore the maid's clothes half-coaxing.

It's just that the maid is struggling really hard, Li Shen changed her face, and used words to support her: "As long as you obey me, I will accept you as a concubine, and you will be half a master in the future, and you will no longer have to do these hard work, what you want, a thousand times better than you are now!" The maid was unmoved, and continued to struggle, Li Shen was scratched in the face by her, and slapped her hard, and the girl who hit her suddenly had a swollen face, and the corners of her mouth also oozed blood, and she scolded fiercely in her mouth: "You!" Shao and Lao Tzu are pretending to be high here! Saying that he was about to fight, Shen Lian grabbed the wooden stick that Ya'er had just found in his hand, kicked open the door and rushed in.

"Who! What a big boldness, didn't you see that Lord Ben was already resting? Do you want your dog dead?! In the dark, Li Shen could only vaguely see a black shadow walking towards him, and his first promise was to scold.

Seeing that the other party was menacing, and it seemed that the comer was not good, he was a little panicked, and hurriedly got up from the maid and ran out.

Shen Lian didn't say a word, and when Li Shen ran to his side and broke out, a stick hit him on the leg, fast, accurate and ruthless, only to hear Li Shen's wail, and he fell to the ground, crying wolf.

Shen Lian slammed Li Shen with a fat face, and the people who had already surrounded him outside were stunned and didn't dare to move.

They originally heard Li Shen's screams, thinking that there were robbers in the house, and the guys rushed over with the guys, but as soon as the candles stood to light the room, no one dared to step forward, and they even forgot to speak.

Because they all know that this woman who beat her own adult violently is the crown princess she saw during the day! Just when everyone was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do, Shen Lian was already tired, she glanced coldly at Li Shen, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and then looked at the Li family members who were already stunned outside the door, before she spoke: "You adults are guilty, the prince ordered me to come to investigate clearly, I saw Li Shen as a traitor with my own eyes, this stick is a small precaution for a while, it's nothing, you all retreat, I have to interrogate him carefully!"

The crown princess spoke, who dared not listen? Everyone reluctantly retreated, and closed the door with them.

The trembling girl in the corner stood up tremblingly, looking at Shen Lian's mouth trembling for a long time and not being able to say a word, it seemed that she was frightened, but she didn't know if she was stupid by Li Shen's ** behavior, or she was stunned by Shen Lian's behavior.

Shen Lian asked, "Is there any hemp rope or anything like that in this house?" The maid didn't agree to come over at first, Leng was motionless on the spot, Shen Lian was helpless, so he had to raise the volume and repeat what he had just said, the maid finally came to her senses, nodded busily, turned around and went to the box and turned out a piece of hemp rope and handed it to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian gave the hemp rope to Ya'er again, and Ya'er understood, and helped Li Shen, who fell to the ground motionless and could only hum, to make it stronger.

After a lot of effort, he turned Li Shen over, and Shen Lian poured all the tea he wanted to drink on Li Shen's face.

Li Shen, who was already in a semi-comatose state, woke up and opened his mung bean eyes and looked at everything around him in confusion.

When he saw Shen Lian's face clearly, he was so frightened that he kowtowed like garlic: "The crown princess forgives the sins, the crown princess forgives the sins, I don't know that you are here, the lower officials have missed the distance, and the lower officials know that they are wrong!" Shen Lian's face was black, at this time, Li Shen still didn't figure out the situation, what did he come to do, didn't he have any points in his heart?
